Gauteng High Court judge Ramarumo Monama on Wednesday pleaded with defence lawyers in the Nathaniel Julies murder case to focus on the questions the court was dealing with, and not on peripheral matters.

Monama made this plea before the resumption of the case on Wednesday when Tahiira Kaldine, a new witness, was about to testify.

“The investigation in this matter is the allegation of murder. We are not interested whether a witness is an accomplice. We spent three days on issues that were peripheral,” Monama said. “The investigation is whether the state proves its case of murder. The reason I am raising this is because we must remain focused on the essence.

Sithole was with four other police officers when Julies was fatally shot near his home in Eldorado Park on August 26 last year.

Mpumalanga MEC in court for double murder of ANC membersA Mpumalanga MEC accused of double murder says he was buying meat when two members of the ANC were gunned down outside a popular drinking spot in Mbombela. Its sad to have members of the ANC who are given positions of leadership act out of the law with impunity. At least he can tell his side of the story in a court of law. This thing of climbing at the back of corpses to leadership positions should be strongly discouraged.
